Cane burns once every 18 to 24 months or less. Cane absorbs carbon monoxide during that time. BTW, read the Maui News and other stories and see how dry the isthmus of Maui truly is in the old days. Imagine the winds with no cane everyday...or better yet, visit Lahaina on a windy dusty day after Pioneer Mill closed.

Cane does NOT burn daily...fields that are scheduled to burn are burned 18 months after the field is planted during "harvest season."... which ranges from late spring through late summer... not year round...do you even live in Hawaii Nei?

it's june 6th, 2008, 7:46am it's "black-snowing" right now, just as it it did yesterday and a couple of days ago. Maybe, I should post on YouTube a video of 'black snow' on Maui everytime it happens?

By the way, where did you get the idea that "sugar cane absorbs carbon monoxide during that time" (for anyone having even rudimentary knowledge of physics, chemistry and biology, it's a laughable statement) . It's scary how ignorant one needs to be to say something like that.
+ YES I do live on Maui. If you realy stand by what you say, let's make a deal. I will pay you $10 for each weak in which there is no sugar cane burning and you pay me $10 for each week there is.

Black-snowing again in "paradise".
It's about 08:00 a.m. June 26th, 2008.
I videoed it, so maybe, if I am not lazy, I will post it here later.
Mauikine3k: are you still claiming that it only happens once in a year and a half or even once in 2 years.

Aloha Euhnomon. Response 1 of 2. Please re-read my posts. I did not say that burning occurs only ever 1 ½ or 2 years...I noted fields.

As you know, there are over 30k++ sugar acres on Maui. Fields (100+acres) are planted in a staggered time therefore harvesting/burning in a staggered time period & as you posted, mostly everyday. I posted...not everyday. Therefore, we actually didn't disagree. However, you took your comments further...see 2 of 2.
